It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Association for Equality and Excellence, Inc. (AEEE) website!

Our Association is one of 10 regions across the nation composed of TRIO professionals that work hard every day to help ensure college access and success, and reduce inequality in access to higher education.

The Association provides its members with training, advocacy, mentoring, and a forum where individuals from various programs with similar missions came come together for mutual benefit.

AEEE helps provide a unified voice in the cause of educational opportunity, and furthers the expansion of educational opportunity programs by planning and supporting initiatives that advocate for the needs of TRIO and other underserved students.

We seek to:

Facilitate communication and cooperation among persons working in educational opportunity programs in New Jersey and New York.

Further public awareness of the needs of disadvantaged students enrolled in or aspiring to post-secondary education.

Provide members with important grant and policy-related information from the national advocacy organization, the Council for Opportunity in Education (COE).

Represent local issues and concerns at the national level by sending AEEE's President, President-Elect, and Immediate Past President to the Board of Directors of the national Council for Opportunity in Education (COE).

We hope you learn more about our vision and mission through this website, as well as opportunities to join and become involved in the wonderful work we do in support of the students we serve.

Should you have any questions, or require additional information, kindly reach out to this year’s board of directors (located on this website) or contact me directly at: sjott@buffalo.edu.

Sincerely,

Susan J. Ott, PhD

President, AEEE, Inc.
